If you are able to volunteer today, please call the Algonquin Township office at 847-639-2700.

According to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, it appears that all locations on the river are cresting at this time. Although there is still uncertainty in the path of the storms forecast for Friday night and Saturday, the current center of the rainfall has shifted further east toward the Fox River from this morning’s forecast. This increases the forecast rainfall estimates to 1.5” – 3” during that time frame.

Thank you to our emergency personnel and volunteers currently helping during this time of crisis and thank you in advance to those of you who are willing to volunteer your time this afternoon.
